I can’t believe I am saying this but WHITE canvas shoes will soon be a thing of the past in schools in Malaysia. I have been holding on to it for the longest time ever since our Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik announced that all students will wear black shoes in the near future. I have always loved white shoes. I mean we were not given a choice back then. Love it or hate it, […]

When Ethan was younger, we went up to Genting fortnightly as we had the annual pass to their theme park then. It is only an hour drive from our house hence we don’t mind going up that often.

We decided to […]

The rainy season is here and this situation is expected to last till the end of the year. With the boys cooped up at home unable to go to the playground due to these constant evening showers, I have to think of something to keep them occupied. Children these days get glued to their gadgets easily if we don’t practice certain control over them. With them getting more and more exposed to different types of […]

Sometime early this month, our little Ayden hits the streets in a mission to bring smiles to random strangers. We were pleasantly surprised to see how willing these beautiful strangers are to spend a couple of minutes from their busy life to smile and just be happy ❤️ Would you stop and allow Ayden to take a wefie with you if he approached you? Watch the video here: 

With a blink of an eye, Ayden graduated from preschool last Sunday. If you have been following our journey, you’d know that I homeschooled both Ethan and Ayden during their preschool years. With big brother Ethan, I home-schooled him until he is 6 years old then panicked when someone told me that without a preschool graduation cert he won’t be accepted into primary school. So we quickly looked for a preschool for him but by […]

I know it’s a little early but I am already making Chinese New Year decorations using Angpow packets. I always make them early as I can get really busy closer to CNY with all the bakings and more.

Last week, schools were suddenly closed due to the haze. With 3 days off and nothing to do, Ethan’s friends planned an outing to go ice skating.

They took advantage of the early bird special whereby if you enter before noon, you’ll get RM5 off the ticket price. We […]

He chose to perform a magic trick. And the best […]
